Chocolate Crisp BumbleBars are May’s bar of the month! They’re on sale and 35% for the next 18 days. That’s $11.99 a box marked down from $18.00 and $144.00 per master case marked down from $180.00. In honor of Chocolate Crisp this May, we thought it might be fun to share some fun facts about chocolate and cacao. While our facility, as well as all of our BumbleBars, are certified vegan, we still love the taste of chocolate. Reading this list will make you want some, so be sure to have a Chocolate Crisp BumbleBar close by while you read!

As a company, we wear many hats. We produce our own private label BumbleBars and JunoBars and we also function as a copacker. We have processed a variety of products, from granola to snack puffs, and perhaps most importantly we research and develop products for clients with a variety of needs.

We’ve had a lot of fun exploring the different ways to cook with tempeh. It’s a great source of plant-based protein and as you know, we’re pretty obsessed with any form of plant-based nutrition at BumbleBar. For the last recipe in the Tempeh Time series, we decided to make a yummy veggie-centric comfort food: Cauliflower and Tempeh Curry. Follow along to make your own!

May is celiac awareness month. As a gluten-free energy bar company, pretty much every month is celiac awareness month here, but we want to help spread the word.

Celiac disease is an immune reaction to consuming gluten, a protein found in wheat. Check out our blog post specifically on gluten to learn more about it. Consuming gluten triggers a response in people with this disease. It damages their small intestine’s lining over time and prevents the body from absorbing nutrients. Celiac disease can manifest itself in many ways. The intestinal damage that occurs when eating gluten can cause an individual with this disease to experience anything from fatigue and irritability to weight loss and infertility as well as a variety of other uncomfortable and painful side effects.

Here at BumbleBar, we use a variety of quality ingredients in our bars, one of which is flaxseed. We feature organic, non-GMO flaxseed in all of our BumbleBars right alongside organic, non-GMOsesame seeds. Beyond adding delicious flavors and textures to our bars, flaxseeds pack a superfood punch and come with several health benefits.
